As fire is all encompassing, the possibility of a camera NOT videoing the conflagration if it was live streaming is minute. This aircraft his with wing first, so the likelihood of an ignition source and fuel is almost certain... It is not often that video arises from inside an accident sequence as catastrophic as this, it is of significant safety engineering value to be analysed over time, but it is horrific as well.
